5-7. Packages may change daily, but have (some of the) bugs worked out. Extremely bleeding edge software won't make it in to testing, because of the requirements to move a package from unstable to testing include usability on all architectures and some other things that imply letting it cook a little longer. If unstable is raw, and stable is well done, call testing rare to medium rare. > Also, it would be nice to just update /etc/apt/sources.list and fire > off dselect to go from potato to woody, but I suppose folks here > will recommend that I use "apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade" > instead. > >-- >Bill Wohler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.newt.com/wohler/ >Maintainer of comp.mail.mh FAQ.
